“Played this on PC and Xbox Series X. While it IS a above average COD Zombies wanna-be, the PC version has far worse performance than the console skew. So definitely pass on the PC version, and grab this one on console…”

“Fantastic surprise, especially if you’re a fan of classic round-based zombie shooters. It clearly takes inspiration from Call of Duty: Zombies, but manages to stand on its own while offering a very similar experience at…”
“game is very cool very stylized, very old school, graphics are okay for a game that might've come out 10 years ago very blurry and undetailed movement is clunky, zombies don't really make much sound... only when they…”
